She shares cookies but not secret recipe

Your Southern Grandma may have shared her cookie recipe, but more than likely she left out at least one essential ingredient. There is no way she was going to let anyone, particularly her baking arch-rival, make cookies as good as hers.

At Charleston Cookie Co., CEO Judith Moore feels the same way. But she won't divulge any of the recipe much less the uniquely Southern secret ingredient in her handcrafted pecan and imported chocolate chip cookies available via web at charlestoncookie.com.

"Southern grandmothers freely share their recipes with anyone who asks, which makes me suspicious," says Moore, who earned her pilot's license in 1977 and was one of the first female Over-The-Counter securities traders in the country. "No one else can ever duplicate their signature dishes, and I suspect it is because they withhold some crucial information. I'm upfront about it: no one but me knows the Charleston Cookie Co. recipe and secret ingredient, or ever will."

After completing her many careers, the lifelong baker was urged by friends and family to take her famous cookies to market. October 15, 2003, Moore and a chef start handcrafting cookies for the mass market.

Charleston Cookie Co. cookies are available in $18.50 tins, or $7.99 half- pound bags via web at charlestoncookie.com, or email orders@charlestoncookie.com.
